PACK IT IN, PACK IT IN ☆ play-sparring

[LUMIA CIPHER.]

Lumia felt a bit of a thrill run through her as Danny sat back up, seeming interested in her idea for a spar. That was certainly a good sign, considering she was worried the other would just sit around moping for months. Obviously he had plenty of reason to be upset, but... laying around and doing nothing would do... well, nothing. It wouldn't lift his spirits, and Mia really didn't think it would ease the grief. So, in her own mind, the girl was sure that she was doing the right thing. Her satisfaction with her own idea was written clear as day on her face, a crooked grin on her muzzle as she nodded, "Yeah! I mean, who wouldn't be impressed if their student already knew a bit about fighting? Besides, that means less work for the both of you, and I'm sure they'll be grateful for that, too." She didn't actually know too much about the mentoring system within The Typhoon, but surely there was some kind of curriculum, right? Something that the teachers wanted to get through with the students? Fighting had to be a part of that, and having a head start was always good, at least in her eyes.

Having noticed the various scrapes that Danny already had on him, Lumia did find herself a bit hesitant to make a first move. She didn't want to end up hurting him more if she could help it, after all. Still... she was smaller, and the canine had to be more prepared for an attack now. Besides, they were only really play-fighting for a bit of practice. The feline had no intention of actually scratching him up and making things worse. She was sure that the medics wouldn't be happy with her if she did that, either. The feline didn't really think Danny was weak, per se, but she also didn't want to catch him off guard and have him be badly hurt.

It was because of this that Lu made it very clear what she was planning on doing, dropping once more into a hunter's crouch. Her grin was still bright and crooked as she spoke, briefly showing off glinting pearly whites, "Alright, you ready? Cause I'm not about to go easy on you!" Doing so would probably be a pretty bad idea, even with the other's lack of experience. Still, she didn't allow herself to dwell on the thinking side of things any longer. Instead, she launched herself forward, attempting to grab onto Danny's shoulder with her claws and drag him back into the sand with her. She wasn't aiming to dig her claws in deeply, not wanting to actually injure the canine. Instead, she was trying to just drag him down with her momentum.
